Yorkie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Assuming any conspiracy theories are true... Couple of match-winning performances, couple of poor games and never back on the pitch since? Can see why he would feel aggrieved but the team is doing better in a formation that suits the manager's style. Playing this way probably doesn't accommodate a player like Ben Arfa, as sad as that is to see, and it might be best for everyone if he moved on. Or he could be injured. I think he could be worth a go as a number ten, just off a striker. He didn't look good playing centrally earlier this year, but a false nine is a completely different role. Just off Remy with no defensive duties he could be dynamite IMO, but that would require us playing without a target man which I'm not sure Pardew is willing to do. It's something I don't think he'd be good at, but would love to see tried, just because I'm desperate to see him on the pitch in some fashion. I believe Golfmag unequivocally but if Hatem does eventually get pissed off being out the team again, you have to say Pardew's cocked up big-time by not being able to fit his single most talented player into the first team. For now I can definitely live with it, cos we're on such a good run, but you'd think there must be some way to integrate him, eventually without interfering with the side's overall tenacity/work rate. He's brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Two points of note: 1) You often lose quite a bit of weight if you have proper legit flu - good for HBA 2) Nicholas Butt got off his sick bed to play and score away at Spurs having apparently had flu during 06/07. No excuse. I'm conflicted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
